Art Journal Page ... by Lynn

Hi everyone, Lynn here today to share an art journal page that I have created for this months challenge - using "Fly" in a quote

I began with Distress Oxide Sprays - Spiced Marmalade, and Picked Raspberry onto the page, and then added the Textured Resist Spray though the Tracey Scott stencil 

Once the resist spray was dry I have added a coat of clear gesso to seal the oxides otherwise they will reactivate.

 I have painted with paper Artsy paint - purple rain - the areas with the spray resisted the paint. (definately the ugly stage of the process!!)

and all that it takes to go from ugly to nice is some white paint and a brayer together with a title!!!!

I stamped a butterfly using the stamping platform so that I could realign the stamp acurately after colouring it with paper Artsy paints to get a nice black finish again.

I have used Liquid Pearls on the butterfly.  

The quote was handwritten on bookpaper that had been given a light coating of gesso.

The word "Fly" was stamped from Tracey Scotts Paper Artsy Stamp - ETS22

I have linked the products used at the bottom of this post.
